Our Energy Monitoring products keep you well-informed of how much power you use, what your major loads are, when you use electric power the most, how much you pay for it, and the quality of the power you use.
Energy usage is now a strategic variable—one that engineers can measure, analyze, and optimize in real time to unlock higher productivity and reduce operational costs. Our Energy Monitoring solutions give you the visibility to make data‑driven decisions that cut waste, strengthen power quality, and increase uptime across your entire facility. Designed for harsh industrial environments, these systems integrate seamlessly into your control architecture, delivering accurate insights that help you build a more efficient, more connected, and more resilient operation.

Current Transformers
Current Transformers (CTs) provide the precise current measurement foundation for every energy monitoring system. Available in multiple form factors and accuracy classes, our CTs ensure stable, high‑fidelity current data that supports load studies, energy optimization, and power quality analysis. Their durability and precision make them ideal for both retrofit and new‑build applications.
These accessories—including communication modules, mounting hardware, and wiring kits—extend the functionality and ease of installation for PowerMonitor devices. They enable flexible deployment, simplify integration into MCCs and switchgear, and support ongoing maintenance and scalability as your energy monitoring program evolves.
PowerMonitor™ meters are the intelligence core of your energy strategy. They deliver real‑time energy, demand, and power quality metrics essential to root‑cause analysis, cost allocation, and predictive maintenance. Their native integration with Logix and FactoryTalk software ecosystems ensures your teams have instant access to meaningful insights at every level of your operation.
A scalable approach to energy monitoring to help increase efficiency, identify opportunities for energy reduction, and accelerate digital transformation.

Why should I implement an energy monitoring system?
Energy monitoring systems give you real‑time visibility into where and how energy is being consumed. With accurate load profiles, demand trends, and power quality data, you can identify inefficiencies, protect sensitive equipment, avoid unplanned downtime, and make targeted improvements that reduce operational costs. This data is particularly critical for meeting sustainability goals and supporting energy‑intensive processes.
How do PowerMonitor devices integrate with my existing control system?
PowerMonitor devices are designed for seamless integration with Logix controllers, EtherNet/IP networks, and FactoryTalk software platforms. This integration eliminates the need for isolated data collection tools by enabling energy data to flow directly into the same visualization, reporting, and control environments your teams already use. This leads to faster diagnostics, unified reporting, and simplified workflows.
What hardware do I need to get started?
A typical energy monitoring setup includes Current Transformers for accurate measurement, a PowerMonitor device for data processing and communications, and appropriate accessories for installation and network integration. Depending on your application, you may also add power quality monitors or voltage‑disturbance sensors such as the i‑Sense.
Can these systems help with power quality issues?
Yes. PowerMonitors capture sags, swells, harmonics, and transient events that often lead to equipment faults or lost batches. By correlating event data with machine behavior, you can quickly identify root causes—whether upstream grid disturbances or internal loading conditions—and take corrective action to protect your assets.
Are these solutions scalable for multi‑site operations?
Absolutely. Our architecture allows you to start with a single line or machine and scale to plant‑wide or enterprise‑wide deployments. Because the system is built on EtherNet/IP and FactoryTalk platforms, you can create standardized templates, unify dashboards, and aggregate energy performance across all facilities—regardless of size.
